Pick Your Own Apple Orchards on the MD Eastern Shore in 2024

Let’s Go Apple Picking

Apple picking, anyone? If you’re looking for a huge variety of local apple orchards to choose from, I have some bad news. While the list is small, it’s mighty and just bursting with fun fall family activities! Though you won’t find PYO apple orchards directly in Queen Anne’s, Kent, or Talbot, there are several nearby spots that offer everything you need for a great day out with the kids. Think apple-filled adventures, pumpkin patches, hayrides, and the kind of fresh air that makes fall so special. So, grab the kids and head out for a day of apple picking and making memories that’ll last well into the cooler months!
